Angillina "Guaaards...Come in here please?"
Guard "Yes ma'am?"
Angillina "That body there, can you remove it? Also...I don't know how to ask this, but can you bring me one person from each grade?"
Guard "As you wish."
Simon "Angillina, I know what you are thinking. I suggest you stop before you start down an unrecoverable path."
Angillina "Simon, am I not a goddess? There is nothing that is impossible."
Simon "That may be true, but this power is not natural. It always has consequences. You heard Lucifer. In one month, he will come collect unless you bring Cole's head to her."
Angillina "Yea but I am the goddess of blood and storms. What does it matter what some demon program says?"
Simon "She isn't some program. You know that. That's really the devil! You know, satan? Beelzebub? The dark princess? Mother of lies? Angillina, we should plan something. Either to kill Cole or to break the contract."
Voice "Hehehe Don't listen to him. All you need is blood. Blood will give you everything. It's in the blood."
Simon "Angillina THAT voice is back too. Don't forget to take your 'medications'."
Angillina pulls a half filled pill bottle out, dropping two tablets on a mirror on her throne. Angillina crushed the pills into a blue powder and snorted them painfully up her nose. Feeling an euphoric rush she slumped her chair, her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she began to dream of better days and blissful moments. She dreamt of a time long before she needed to chase a high to feel the slight bit of ease. A time before her life was nothing more than a bid for attention. Angillina remembered how she would sit in front of her vanity table brushing her curly autumn hair, how each of her beauty products were perfectly placed by her own order. Largest on the left to the shortest on the right, red in the back to white in the front. Her makeup pallets had its own section based one it color scheme. Angillina applied her makeup while her parents were bickering in an adjacent room, nothing particularly strange to Angillina since this was a daily occurrence by this time. They would argue for a couple hours and then everything would be silent.
Vinessa "What the fuck richard? The maid? Really?"
Richard "Would you keep quiet? She is listening."
Vinessa "It's always the same thing with you, and I AM TIRED OF IT!"
Richard "You're tired of what?"
Vinessa "You running around with any tail that catches your eye. You'd think I wouldn't have to spell it out for you."
Richard "You don't have to spell anything out, You don't have to say anything. Just sit there and be pretty. It's about as much as you're good for anyway."
Vinessa "I trusted you, I left my family, my home, everything for you! I have never asked you for anything in return. Would it kill you to be honest for once?"
Richard "You want honesty? I'll give you honesty. You are a crazy bitch, who can't stop riding my coat tails."
Vinessa "You cheating bastard!"
Vinessa's eyes swelled with tears as she yelled for her love to treat her with respect. Angillina finished her makeup and decided to check up on her parents. As she stepped through the door she saw her mother slapping her father around, punching, kicking and hitting him in any available area.
Richard "Get your hand off me you crazy witch."
Vinessa "Or what? You are gonna rub your shrimp on another woman? Huh? What are you going to do tough guy? You already ruined our marriage, my life, and you aren't man enough to be a decent..."
Before she could get another word out Richard slapped her into a nearby cabinet. Vinessa's lifeless body dropped to the floor, her mouth barely able to mumble out a few incoherent words and babbles before she fell asleep.
Richard "Screw this. I'm leaving...I'm tired of you anyway."
Angillina "Daddy? Is mommy going to be alright?"
Richard "Oh, Angillina...mommy is fine, she is just a little tired. Can you watch over her while dad steps out?"
Angillina "Where are you going?"
Richard "Don't worry dear dad will be right back. He just wants to visit the office really quick."
Angillina "Are you mad?"
Richard "What? No. Who could be mad with a beautiful daughter like you around."
Angillina "Then why would you hit mommy? Did she do something bad?"
Richard "Oh sweety don't worry about it. Everything will be fine. Dad will bring you some cake on the way home."
Angillina "Can I go with you? I don't want to be here alone…"
Richard "When you're older hun."
Angillina "Okay...Chocolate…"
Richard "Chocolate? Wha-"
Angillina "Cake...I want Chocolate cake."
Richard "Sure, just as long as you finish dinner. Make sure to finish…"
Angillina "Every bite."
Screams fill the pseudo throne room as the first teen was torn into by Angillina. The blood sprayed all over as she continually drank her fill. The other students cowered in fear of being forced to watch as their classmate begged for them to help in anyway. Tears began to fill two of the student's eyes as they wondered who would be chosen next. Angillina's AIE shifted back and forth from red to blue as she devoured the student. One student mustered up enough courage or maybe even foolishness and sprinted for the doors. Angillina in her deranged state dashed towards the teen as he pushed the doors open and ran out, but soon his rejoiceful smile turned into the look of abject terror as he fell right at the feet of Angillina in front of her throne.
Angillina "I love that. That look as hope is pulled away from you entirely and your faces turn into this stupid look. Like you totally thought you were going to leave. Oh how cute...I knew saving you for last was the right choice."
The throne room melted away revealing the true appearance of the room. Blood splatters painted the walls, bones lined the floor leading up to a poorly carved wooden chair, corpses laid rotting in a corner all drained completely of their blood. The boy slowly stood up with every bit of strength he had left in his legs to run but all he could do was back away from the slowly approaching Angillina, her footsteps cloping on the ground drowning out the sound of flies buzzing over the bodies laid about. The boy backed up and hit something hard as a rock. Turning around to see the guards, the boy pleaded for his life, begged the guards to move out of the way or help him somehow. The guards silent and stoic pushed the boy on the floor, the boy tried to crawl away but it was too late. Angillina's breath warmed his neck as her tongue marked where she was to end her feast for the day.
Angillina "Don't worry, it will all be over soon. Just lay down and enjoy it. Everyone your age is doing it."
Angillina chomped down on the boy's neck spraying his life all over the guards. only if by his body's last attempt to leave the boy pushed angillina off of him and managed to knock off the guards visor as he would soon succumb to the bloodloss, the blood red glare being the last thing he saw and Angillina's twisted voice was the last thing he heard.
Angillina "Stop fighting it will only last a while and it will all be over, right daddy?"
The boy thrashed around as much as he could, his skin turned pale and his body went limp, finally taking his last breath. Once Angillina was done she jumped around happy and overjoyed as the scar on her face started to heal, when suddenly she started a coughing fit. Angillina coughed and coughed until a small bit of blood pooled in her hands.
Angillina "That's strange? Maybe it was something I ate?"
Simon "Angillina, Your body is reading fine. Maybe you should sit down for a bit? We still have much to do. The school is in desperate need of your leadership."
Voice "See they love you. They need you and you need them."
Angillina "You're right. Guards, clean these up for me?"
Guards "YES MA'AM!"
The guards began to immediately scrub the floors and the walls clean, moved the dried remains to an empty corner, and left the room leaving Angillina alone with nothing to do but laze about with absolute power. However, the student body didn't appreciate being nothing more than livestock for her and her cronies. A band of students joined together in the cafeteria to plan a coup.
Devon "Hey everyone, I know this was sudden but I'm glad you all showed up. I'm sure you are wondering why we are gathered here and I'll tell you, but first by show of hands how many of you are willing to die to rid our school of the demon curse?"
None of the students raised their hands except for Devon.
Devon "Come on guys, If we don't act soon we will all die. Just look at our school. Demons are taking the students and doing god knows what with them. We are being eaten on the daily. Don't any of you want to be free?"
Postrie "Why would we risk our lives just to be in the same position as we were before? These past two weeks has shown us that it would take all of us to kill Angillina, let alone her entire demon army."
Devon "Since we started the demon integration program, there has been ninety students identified as demons. That's less than one percent of the student body. If we all band together then we could take them out no sweat."
Postrie "It took the combined effort of all the blessed students, least of which the weakest among them took us all down without even trying to even match Angillina. Now you expect all of us to go against her, and ninety other class two demons? If you have a death wish go ahead but you shouldn't volunteer the lives of others on a hope of freedom that won't come."
Devon "It's not just some blind faith. Think about it, the school is still running as it always has which means the blessed aren't dead. They must be held up somewhere in the school."
Postrie "How do you know this? Or is this another blind faith guess?"
Devon "If a blessed student dies then a replacement must be made to which the school board, the student council president, and the principal must meet in order to elect a new one. It's in our student handbook. There were no investigators here so they aren't dead. Even if they are, what's the alternative? Sit around and wait to be the next sacrifice? We are trapped here against our will to be fed on, tortured for amusement, or worse."
Candice "He has a point. Surly the principal would have said or done something if we were in any true danger. It must be some sort of advanced test for the upcoming war campaign."
Eve "No, it isn't."
Devon "Principal Eve!?"
Eve "Yes, it is I. My dear students due to rules beyond my control I cannot help any of you. It is heartbreaking but if i were to intervene, you all could kiss any chance at freedom goodbye."
Candice "Ms.Eve why? Aren't you the principal? You should easily be able to do something."
Eve "Yes, I wish I could but I am not able to go against a direct order from the God ai. If I were Angillina would be principal until they found a replacement and who knows how long that would be."
Postrie "So basically we are doomed."
Eve "No you aren't. Salvation is on it's way, but you have to be ready to accept it."
Candice "When? Who will come to rescue us when the very people who's job it is to keep us safe can't? Ms.Eve I don't mean any disrespect but we can't just hold out. One hundred fourty for people have died so far at the rate she is going, she is going by the end of the month she will have killed nearly a thousand of us and you want us to wait for salvation? Who is going to help us?"
Charles "I will for one. I will take lead here mate, thank you for yer help bud. We are gonna take out as many of those red eye'd scum as we can but we must do it quietly. If we take out her guards one by one we should lower her army by half by the end of the week. If she has any sense she would probably fortify her base and when she does bam that's when we strike. An all out attack. We will prevail and as your king I will lead you all into victory."
A thunderous roar sounded in the cafeteria as all the students cheered. A cultural shift was befalling the school, one unlike any they have seen before. This time nothing will stop them from achieving peace, not a demon, not a rule nor a ruler. Angillina however saw different, she would rather everyone praise her in her everlasting glory or so she thought.
simon "Angillina I'm worried."
Angillina "Why is that?"
simon "Well you have been really cavalier these past two weeks. Remember Lucifer's warning? Something is bugging me about it."
Angillina "And that is? If you think she will do anything she can't. The demon gave me the spells to stop her right in her tracks."
simon "That's not what's bothering me…"
Angillina "Then what is it?"
simon "It's the fact you are talking to yourself."
Angillina "Simon you idiot. I'm talking to you."
Simon "Yes, Angillina? Do you need me?"
Angillina "What is up with you? You've been acting strange lately."
Simon "I have not the foggiest idea of what you are talking about. I would say if anything you have been acting strangely. Angillina recently you have been talking to yourself."
Angillina "Simon the only one I have talked to for the past twelve years is you."
Simon "My conversation sensors have been activated until a few moments ago. Angillina, I'm concerned. The talking to yourself, your over indulgence of blood, the pills. You need to slow down and reassess everything."
Angillina "I'm fine. I just need a quick pick me up."
Simon "Angillina seriously, You need to sto…"
Angillina "Simon, I will be fine."
Angillina popped out another two pills out of her bottle, staring it down to see only four left. Crushing it into a fine pasty blue dust and separating it into four lines, she puts a straw to her nose and snorts the first line, feeling an exhilarating rush. The second line took all the pain in her body, the third made her senses dull, but the final one. Angillina snorted the final line with such vigor her nose started to bleed. The final line sent her into a blissful trance, Angillina strolled out of the throne room, down the stairs, dancing her way through the halls. Before the eye's of every student the school changed, the floors paved with gold and fitted with a beautiful red carpet. Exotic plants sprung out of beautiful pots and grandiose chandeliers replaced the lights.
Sally "EeEeEEKk!"
Angillina "Hello little one, my precious child. Fret not, I will like totally grace you. Fear no more."
Sally "Get away from me."
Angillina "Oh...I see your fear...It's okay. Come here, I will bless you."
Angillina gives Sally a kiss on her forehead. The red lipstick burned itself into Sally's skin, making her have a seizure and pass out. Before Sally even started to lean she sprang up with deep sunken red eyes.
Sally "I will serve you my queen."
Angillina "Yes now go and SLAY my yellow jay."
Classical music played to the tune of a golden bird humming the hymn of the sun. Angillina danced on down the halls decorating the everything as she went throughout the halls. The students turned away from her scattering as they cleared the area for Angillina.
Angillina "Look at them Simon, my loyal subjects kneeling before me."
simon "Yes m'lady, just as everything should be."
Angillina skipped until she heard someone whisper. Angillina slowly opened the door, walked in, and sat down in the back. The teacher trembled and stammered over his words as he continued to speak to the class.
Mr.Grolo "Um...So...in this..um..passage."
simon "I think he is trying to poorly teach his students. The student council president..No, Queen should teach him a lesson."
Angillina "Mr.Grolo please teach your class properly. I would hate for everyone to fail due to your lack of ability."
Mr.Grolo "Yes Angillina right away."
Angillina "Now continue."
Mr.Grolo "Ch-chapter f-f-four, the ball… Oh what a glorious place, the chandeliers, the food, the guest, oh it was fantastic. The queen, as beautiful as the dawn, met her guests. Her silver shoes out shone by her silver dress."
Angillina "It was gold...My shoes were gold and the dress was red. Who screwed up? WHO DID IT!?!"
The ground started to shake as a dark evil energy leaked itself from Angillina. The students dug their heads deeper into their books, daring not to tell Angillina it was her who told everyone the color of her dress. Angillina started foaming at the mouth as she gripped the desk hard enough to crack it. Gibberish and an unrecognizable language clawed its way out of Angillina's clenched jaw. Suddenly Angillina stopped blinking her eyes to an entire room filled with servants offering her drink after drink, the dark red wine flowing down her rosy cheeks. A slight giggle overcame Angillina when an older handsome well dressed gentleman offered her a once in a lifetime dance. Once again Angillina danced, this time accompanied by a show of status to all the doubters. Her red dress glittering as it turned into silver woven by fairies who danced in the light of the moon.
simon "Soon this dance will come to an end."
Angillina "Yes, it always does. However, that hardly matters now. Let's just enjoy this last dance."
simon "The dance doesn't have to end. We could dance into forever and all eternity just the two of us."
Angillina "That sounds lovely. I want to dance forever."
simon "Are you sure? It's not free…"
Angillina "I am A QUEEN. I want this forever."
simon "As you wish."
The tall man twirled his fingers causing a small scarlet flame to poof a paper.
Angillina "What is this?"
simon "It's nothing. Just something to make our deal official. Will you sign it?"
Angillina "How, I don't have a pen?"
simon "Yes you do. It's in your hands."
Angillina "It doesn't have any ink."
simon "You must use blood."
Angillina looked down to see her silver dress had a small patch of red growing down her dress from her lower abdomen. Without the slightest bit of hesitation Angillina dipped the pen in her blood, she was close to putting the pen to the paper when her father grabbed her hand away from it.
Simon "Angillina, Look at yourself. I can't believe you would do such a thing."
Angillina "You aren't the boss of me."
simon "Yea, you aren't the boss of her now shut your mouth. My queen, sign the papers. One signature is all I need."
Angillina forced her hand away from her father and signed the paper, each letter leaving a golden trail of ink. A smile, a true genuine smile blessed angillina for the first time in years, she closed her eyes expecting when they opened to see servants lined up at her heels ready to serve her. Instead when she opened her eyes Angillina awoke in the classroom. Now completely sober, Angillina walked back to her throne room, simon appearing from the shadows above her throne. Angillina didn't notice his presence as she puked up blood next to her throne and passed out. When she woke up, she was in a beautiful silver dress. Slightly dazed and confused, Angillina took the last two pills in her bottle and falls back asleep. simon reaching his shadowy hands slowly down her dress, removing the support straps on her dress. simon cautiosly made his way on top of Angillina careful not to wake her up. simon's breath grew heavier and heavier, Angillina started to moan and bite her lips. As simon continued to explore Angillina entirely, her moans turned sour, her face twisted and contorted, angillina tried to fight simon off of her but she could do very little as simon had his way with her. The yips of pain turned into soft cries that turned into even softer moans. Once simon finished, Angillina woke up to find it was all a dream. She patted herself down and looked all around her to find nothing. Angillina took a deep breath and calmed herself down, after doing so, she noticed her dress changed from scarlet red to silver. As she started to freak out the patch of blood grew on her lower abdomen again, this time much faster and even leaking onto the ground. Angillina screams realizing she was just on her throne, she popped open her pills to see she had none left.
Angillina ���Guards, I need my medication."
Guard "Ma'am the guy hasn't responded."
Angillina "WHAT? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!?"
Guard "We didn't want to disturb you from your dream. You seemed to enjoy it."
Angillina "You know what? It's like totes okay cutie. Be a dear and get your queen some more otay."
Guard 2 "M'lady, a report just came in from rupert. The mule was killed in the capitol by the angels and the passage was destroyed by...a bird of fire and thunder."
Angillina "fuck...fuck. Fuck. Fucking hell. FUCK, FUCK, FUCK. I need those right now. Do you guys have any on you?"
Guard "Ma'am those are necessary for the demon students to control themselves in day to day activities. They are much more powerful than your average dose and..."
Angillina "SHUT YOUR MOUTH! IVE BEEN TAKING YOUR PILLS! DON'T TELL ME HOW STRONG THEY ARE AND GO GET SOME! NOW!"
Guard 2 "Ma'am we can't. All demon students have taken all of their pills and with no supply we don't have anymore."
simon "He's lying. There is one more."
Angillina "Where simon."
simon "It's in his heart."
Before the guard could react, he watched as Angillina took a bite out of his still beating heart. She looked down to see a baggie of pills, temptation overcame her as she downed the entire thing. Angillina's body convulsed and she fell to the ground asleep. The guard helped her to her throne.
Timothy "This is royal guard one, All demon guards the queen is down. Regroup at the throne room. We must protect the queen at all cost!"
